伊斯兰堡电——官员表示,在巴基斯坦布洛阿特峰发生雪崩后失踪的10名登山者中,救援人员于周五找到了4具遗体,尽管恶劣天气阻碍了直升机飞行,他们仍在继续搜寻其余人员。备受赞誉的英籍尼泊尔裔登山家尼尔马尔·普尔贾就在失踪者之列。
根据吉尔吉特-巴尔蒂斯坦首席部长阿姆贾德·侯赛因的一份声明,恶劣天气仍在阻碍周五的搜救工作。
但吉尔吉特-巴尔蒂斯坦警方发言人在脸书的一份声明中表示,据法新社报道,“初步报告显示,截至目前已找回4具遗体”。

巴基斯坦阿尔卑斯俱乐部副主席卡拉尔·海德里表示,当登山者试图攀登布洛阿特峰时,一场雪崩袭击了该山峰,此后他们与大本营失去了联系。海德里说:“这支队伍从周四起就失去了通信联系”,并补充称军方直升机已参与搜救行动。
据阿尔卑斯俱乐部介绍,此次探险队成员包括5名尼泊尔登山者、巴基斯坦登山家索海尔·萨基、阿曼登山家纳提拉、美国登山家马洛里·盖斯、一名仅被登记为王姓的中国登山者,以及另一名外籍登山者。
周五,中国政府表示正在核实是否有本国公民在10名失踪者当中。
“我们将为有需要的中国公民提供协助,也愿意根据巴方的需求提供帮助,”中国外交部发言人毛宁周五在北京表示。
现年43岁的普尔贾出生于尼泊尔,曾在英国陆军服役,广为人知的昵称是“尼姆斯·戴”,他是此次探险队的领队。2019年,他以创纪录的189天登顶了全球14座海拔最高的山峰,这一成就被网飞纪录片《14座高峰:没有不可能》记录下来。他的纪录在2023年被打破。
巴基斯坦本土旅行社Moving Mountains于上月末宣布,探险队已前往阿斯科尔小镇,并祝愿他们攀登布洛阿特峰之旅平安。该旅行社表示,这是盖斯首次尝试巴基斯坦境内的8000米(26000英尺)级高峰,同时预计这也将是萨基的最后一次登山挑战。
根据Moving Mountains的官网信息,萨基是该旅行社的向导,同时也是一名地理学家和高空摄影师,曾攀登过全球多座知名高峰。
现年39岁的盖斯居住在圣安东尼奥。今年早些时候,她在社交媒体上宣布,将关闭自己的普拉提工作室,“勇敢地踏入未知领域,看看生活将走向何方。我有种预感,未来会有很多头盔、安全带和冰爪相伴。”
布洛阿特峰海拔26401英尺,是全球第12高峰。它位于巴基斯坦的喀喇昆仑山脉,该山脉拥有全球14座海拔26000英尺以上高峰中的5座,吸引着来自全球的登山者。
由于雪崩和天气快速变化,巴基斯坦北部山区的登山探险活动中事故频发。
Famed climber Nirmal Purja among 10 missing on Pakistan mountain; 4 bodies found

Islamabad — Rescuers searching for 10 climbers missing after an avalanche on Pakistan’s Broad Peak located four bodies Friday and were continuing to search for the others despite adverse weather that hampered helicopter flights, officials said. Acclaimed British-Nepali climber Nirmal Purja was among the missing.
Bad weather continued to hamper the search-and-rescue effort Friday, according to a statement from the Gilgit-Baltistan region’s Chief Minister Amjad Hussain.
But the Gilgit-Baltistan region’s police spokesperson said in a statement on Facebook that, “Preliminary reports indicate that four bodies have so far been recovered,” according to French news agency AFP.

The climbers lost contact with their base camp after an avalanche struck Broad Peak while they were attempting to scale the mountain, said Karrar Haidri, vice president of the Alpine Club of Pakistan. “The team has been out of communication since Thursday,” said Haidri, adding that army helicopters were part of the search-and-rescue operation.
According to the Alpine Club, the expedition comprised five Nepali climbers, Pakistani mountaineer Sohail Sakhi, Omani climber Nathira, American climber Mallory Geis, a Chinese climber identified only as Wang, and another foreign climber.
On Friday, China’s government said it was trying to verify whether any of its nationals were among the 10 missing.
“We will provide assistance to Chinese citizens in need and are also willing to offer help in accordance with the needs of the Pakistani side,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Friday in Beijing.
Purja, 43, a Nepal-born former soldier in the British army widely known as Nims Dai, was the expedition leaded. He climbed the world’s 14 highest peaks in a record 189 days in 2019, an achievement featured in the Netflix documentary, “14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible.” His record was surpassed in 2023.
Moving Mountains, a travel company based in Pakistan, announced late last month that the expedition team was on its way to the small town of Askole and wished them a safe journey climbing Broad Peak. The company said this was Geis’ first try at an 8,000-meter (26,000 foot) peak in Pakistan, while it was expected to be Sakhi’s final one.
Sakhi is a guide for the company, as well as a geographer and high-altitude photographer, and has climbed some of the world’s major peaks, according to Moving Mountains’ website.
Geis, 39, lives in San Antonio. She announced on social media earlier this year that she was closing her Pilates studio to take “a giant leap of faith into the unknown to see where life goes. I have a sneaking suspicion there will be lots of helmets, harnesses, and crampons involved.”
Broad Peak, at 26,401 feet, is the world’s 12th-highest mountain. It lies in Pakistan’s Karakoram range, home to five of the world’s 14 peaks above 26,000 feet, attracting climbers from around the globe.
Accidents are common during climbing expeditions in northern Pakistan because of avalanches and rapidly changing weather.
